Long weekend road closures: What you need to know

Motorists are being advised of the following road/lane closures for Friday, April 19 – Tuesday, April 23, 2019:

14 St. & 90 Ave. S.W. long weekend closure

In order to relocate and reinstall underground utilities at the intersection of 14 St. and 90 Ave. S.W. with the least amount of impact to businesses, residents and commuters, The City will have staged closures over the Easter long weekend. Crews will be working 24 hours a day to ensure the work is completed, rather than having to do multiple closures over the spring and summer that would be more disruptive to traffic and businesses.

To ensure that business access to Glenmore Landing is maintained during construction, a temporary, gravelled slip lane from southbound 14 St. S.W. will be opened starting Thursday April 18, 2019. Access from eastbound 90 Ave. S.W. to Glenmore Landing will also remain open during construction.
